Brazilian government on Friday said Nigeria has accepted to be a partner country in the multinational bloc of nations, otherwise known as BRICS.
This was contained in a statement by the Brazil Foreign Ministry, on Friday.
According to the statement, Brazil, which holds the bloc’s presidency in 2025, said Nigeria has been actively strengthening cooperation in the Global South and reforming global governance, which has been a priority to Brazil.
“As the 6th largest population in the world and the 1st on the African continent, as well as one of the largest economies in Africa, Nigeria has converging interests with the other members of the group,” the statement said.
Arogidigba Global Journal gathered that Nigeria joined the BRICS in a status already held by another eight nations primarily in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia.
